20 Super Hit Films That Actors Made The Mistake Of Rejecting

An actor never just lands up with a role. The roles that they play are the ones that they are meant to play, which is why they are selected for them among millions of others.

Shah Rukh Khan Shah Rukh Khan or also known as SRK is a prominent >> Read More... was beyond brilliant in the film, playing the obsessed lover who was ready to kill for the girl he was obsessing over.

A man who has done a film like Tees Maar Khan Click to look into! >> Read More... refuses something as substantial as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag is hard to digest.

In fact, she was not even the second choice. The role had first been offered to Aishwarya, who rejected it. Then it was offered to Twinkle, who also refused the film.

We can all agree that Preity Zinta Preity, also known as Preity Zinta is a famous Act >> Read More... is a brilliant actress and has done a great job in the film.
